Outreach™ 10.1 Release Announced
Release date October 2011
Toplevel are pleased to announce the forthcoming release of version 10.1 of Outreach™. Outreach™ is Toplevel’s modular software product suite and combines the former OfficeForms, OfficeProcess and BookingOffice into a single agile process automation suite for end-to-end online services. The release contains the following new features.
Usability
Good online help and guidance is crucial to a successful self-service system, so we’ve improved the integration with web content and depth of context of the help, making it even easier to set up self-service solutions that are completely self-guided for both staff and customers. Appearance and usability of help windows is improved too, automatically sizing them based on the size of the help.
Usage of subforms has been extended to support capturing information in 1-to-many relationships (e.g. tables on screen), giving the designer greater control and ability to fine tune the user experience whilst entering individual rows. Visually, users now see a lightbox of the main form while they use the subform,
and usability whilst adding entries has been improved by reducing mouse-clicks when moving between rows.
Usability improvements to handling dialogs and message boxes mean they appear surrounded by a lightbox of the main screen and enable the user to continue seamlessly from the point where they left off prior to the dialog / message box.
Rich internet support has been extended to Google Chrome, meaning that users of Chrome will now automatically get Outreach™’s advanced User Experience support such as “lightbox” style display of dialogs.
Mobile
Document Publishing
Documents automatically published, including those automatically produced on submit are now produced in background improving system performance where large volumes of documents are published.
Security and Administration
Administration of systems with over 32,000 users has been improved. Various other security, usability and accessibility enhancements have also been made, including the ability to rapidly time-out inactive user sessions, which helps protect data, e.g. if access via internet cafes or other public places is enabled.
